US Patent 11496492 Managing false positives in a network anomaly detection system

Systems and methods are provided for managing false positives in a network anomaly detection system. The methods may include receiving a plurality of anomaly reports; extracting fields, and values for the fields, from each of the anomaly reports; grouping the anomaly reports into a plurality of groups according to association rule learning, wherein each group is defined by a respective rule; for each group, creating a cluster based on common values for the fields; and marking each cluster as a possible false positive anomaly cluster.
